Probably being dim here, but are "affect" and "strike" synonyms? think

I agree that it seems a bit of a stretch, but if a thought strikes you then it will be close in meaning to being affected by something, and of course it may not be the correct answer to Helmer's clue... lol

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Ya got it, Lex! ===[**CDM**]===

PS: Both 'affect' and 'strike' are listed as primary synonyms of each other (definition "to act upon"). My reference is the online thesaurus at merriam-webster dot com.

Socrates - anagram of "actress" with O (Nato phonetic alphabet for "Oscar") smile


Apologies, Helmer - I tend to use thesaurus.com, and they're not listed as synonyms there oops
